Our brewers add a professional touch, creating their own representations of the world's renowned beer and making sure they complement our flavorful food. It’s unique, fresh, handcrafted beer, brewed on site just for you, and it makes us proud.

Bottom's Up Kölsch
This golden to straw-colored Ale is light in body and brewed with two-row malted barley, Perle and Tettnang hops. Brewed in the Menninger family tradition, this refreshing Ale pairs well with salads.
